The pure, full out assault on Jander surely has to be 20 years in prison before parole? I assume they won't look at it and judge it retrospectively because the ref was on the pitch but obviously looking at a different game.

Yeah. From where I was, it just looked like he decided to take him out for some reason. Couldn't work out why because Downes had been starting to make a nuisance of himself (in a good way, he was good yesterday) and Jander had been quite quiet.

Good luck to him. He definitely improved after his loans: better awareness and movement, and if can develop I can see him being successful in our league/abroad. Think the physical side, as you say, will be too much for him to overcome and he's probably not quite 'cute enough' in his play to progress to the top..

I got the impression the ref wanted to make it about him. Seemed to have an ego in inverse proportion to his knowledge and capability.

No. He has to be someone's manager. Just someone we don't like very much.

Season 23-24 or the one after?

Well we're going to lose Long and McCarthy, so that'll give us some leeway. Sign up DP and then we can get rid of Ramsdale, who'll want to go, at our leisure. Who knows? Possibly a loan to Millwall.

At the home game, 1st half they were good. Then they defended and we weren't very good. They just passed and moved and didn't play in a particular style. If they're on form, based on the first half at SMS they were the best team in this league I've seen this season.

And we'd have a decent kit. But anyway. I don't see us getting out much so we'll lose. We really need to try to keep the play away from our area with the personnel they have who are good at scoring. If Larin can keep it and hold it up who's to support him - none of those are going to do much and I don't see Larin as someone (quite) who will run onto a threaded pass from Azaz (who likely as not will be anonymous). 4-0 to them.

Technically a double 'like' but can only do one. As someone said above, the 'gentrification' continues apace to keep the middle classes (sorry all you middle classers) feeling 'relevant' and probably allow people to charge loads for training courses. £1 for 'defend deep' vs £10,000 for 'keep your spaces and present a low block'.

They're a pretty good team doing well. Should be wary of them.

Noted for posterity. Personally, I'd rather we just bought centre forwards and if we go for the short, go for the Ings-type (when he was on form and fit).

While I take your point. How many world beaters in the other teams? Targett? Simms? Anyone from Millwall (going down the table) - because who do they have in their squad?

As a matter of interest, if you want to watch them play. Can you pay on the day? At Silverlake, can't imagine they have the capability at SMS.

Rule number 2. Replaces the now defunct rule#1.

Perhaps he and Fellows train together?

They shouldn't be meaningless. You play to win and (perhaps) to entertain. To do as well as you can. The idea of a play-off was always a nonsense and always about money. Money which stupid fans pay.

No. The games against the lot down the road are ones to look out for. Who cares about Leicester apart from their local rivals?

I think a more Hollywood ending is that we beat them again, sneak 6th while they get 5th and they beat us at Wembley in the last minute with a goal from that centre forward they have who we should/should never have signed. Tall chap. Can't think of his name for now; perhaps someone can come along and tell us.

Dunno, I think the 'feelgood factor' will help them along. Would like to see them have 5 or more draws as that'll slow them down. And they do have to play Hull, so hope for a 0-0 with 3 sendings off on each side in that one.

Personally I'm not convinced they were that 'shocked' and they didn't have much to play for so had probably eased off mentally.

Which of course, being a point that no one else has made and so it not being a part of the discussion, means we can ignore it. Goodbye.

I quite fancy a visit to Hollywood. After we thrash them at Wember lee. They're Welsh. Shouldn't be allowed to play there so we win by default

In the ground it did look as though Larin was clear and the much better choice but on the highlights it did look as though he was covered, or would have been, by the time the ball got to him. Leo was still greedy, but it came off so you can't complain though.

Quite liked it actually. Reminded me of one of the tube lines: Hammersmith, I think. Or could be another one with funny colours.
